Hi, I am Giulia and I am thrilled to have you here on my website!    

          I am an ecologist and nature guide based in the Netherlands. 

Let me take you on a journey to explore the hidden Dutch Nature!

Testimonials
I had a wonderful time walking with Giulia in the dunes and at the beach. She was very attentive and shared interesting knowledge about how nature works: from the way the dunes filter water to how wolves and birds behave. I have enjoyed every minute of it!​

Area of Expertise

I graduate in Forestry and Environmental Science (MSc) from the University of Padova (Italy). Over the years I gained experience also on primary consumers (large grazers) and predators (medium and large carnivores). In summer time, I am usually in the field searching for bats. 

I organize guided excursions in nature for beginners and more experienced hikers. During the walks we focus on the environment around us, the wildlife and ourselves. 

Would you like to organize a workshop or an activity about forest ecology, wildlife or sustainability?  I have experience as a group facilitator and I love to engage people in environmental awareness.
